I'm starting to realize that your understanding how things work in the real world. The Elite is a system only the hardcore or the wealthier fans would only take notice to purchase. This is why Elites were shipped out in small quantities compared to the typical 360 models. The majority of consumers who cannot purchase a system past $300 will obviously go for the Aracade and build upon their experience little by little from there, purchasing the old games to get the experience. Not everyone is easily persuaded to buy a system they in most cases based on actually money they have, they cannot afford.
As for parents, we're not talking about just parents. We're talking about people who make money themselves and want systems for themselves. The average gamer is around their mid 20-early 30's. I doubt they are asking their parents for money. It's parents who don't give a damn about what their kids play as long as they shut up that will buy their kids games like GTA.

I hope you're right, because otherwise MS is doing themselves and their customers a disservice.
Luckily for them as I've said before, the casual (Arcade buyer) market is only around 10% of 360's out there. or are my numbers wrong?

The 360 and PS3 will never fully attain the casual market. They need to go after the people who cannot afford the PS3's and 360's that are frugal gamers. Those people accounted for over 60% of the PS2's sales after the first 3 years and the price drop occured.
